    In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North and South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical (热带) places near the Earth's equator (赤道) , there are two seasons: a 'wet' season and a 'dry' season. Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the
world.
    Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.
    Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21 or 22. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
    Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again.
During autumn, the leaves change color and fall down from the trees.
Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21 or 22. The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.

＞FROM THE EDITOR
DEAR
READERS,
    Happy birthday to us! TIME magazine's first issue (期刊) came out on March 3,1923. Sure, 96 isn't the most special birthday, comparing with the 100th birthday. But we take every opportunity (机会) to celebrate. TIME for Kids came along just a little bit later, in 1995. Soon, we will have our 25th birthday!
    We have run our Kid Reporter program for many years. Many kids who took part in the program as a reporter are professional journalists (职业记者) now. While they were working with TFK, they caught some great opportunities, like interviewing political leaders, famous people, Olympic athletes, scientists, and more.
    Do you dream of being a reporter? Come and join us! On March 15, we will hold our annual (一年一度的) competition to find our next group of TIME for Kids Reporters. Editors from TFK will choose 10 best students.
    I hope you will have a chance to report for our magazines and websites during the 2019-2020 school year.
All the best,

C
    I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
    For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent(弯曲) my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
    My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me "Stand straight and tall, Alisa. "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.
    My grandfather grew up in war-torn (战乱的) Europe. "Stand straight, stand tall" meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. "If they could do it, why couldn't I?" "Stand straight, stand tall," he often reminded (提醒) himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.
    "Stand straight, stand tall," he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather's unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
